500+ organizations nationwide signed onto a letter urging Congress to pass the #MCEDAct this year, which would give seniors access to life-saving multi-cancer early detection (#MCED) tests. Senator Ted Cruz Senator John Cornyn bit.ly/3qZBDc5
To lower drug costs for seniors and taxpayers, Congress must work to delink #PBMcompensation from #druprices. We ask Senator John Cornyn and Senator Ted Cruz to please cosponsor the #PBMAct. is.gd/ubeVuw
.VitalTransformation study shows #GovernmentMandatedDrugPrices would result in 68% reduction in new FDA-approved medicines. Over 10 years, that equals 237 new therapies never making it to market. is.gd/Zctkrq
Drug discounts that benefit only #PBMs should be shared with patients. We hope this important #PBMreform is top of mind for Senate Finance Committee members as they discuss #PBM accountability and PBM overcharging of patients. Thank you, Sen. John Cronyn for your attention to this issue.

Patients should benefit from negotiated drug discounts. Right now, only #PBMs benefit – and this overcharging must stop. We urge Ways and Means Democrats Ways and Means Committee to fix this. Help patients save at the pharmacy counter with this #PBMreform.
A big thank you to our own Senator Senator John Cornyn for joining with the 24 cosponsors of the #MCED Screening Coverage Act to create a pathway for early cancer detection for Texans on Medicare.
Tx faces significant lost therapies, innovation and 54,000+ #biopharma jobs under drug #pricecontrols bill from Rep. Richard Neal Rep. Frank Pallone Rep. David Scott. Bill would hurt patient access & care. More at: weworkforhealth.org/vital-transfor….
